Every single public appearance is a fashion opportunity for the Princess of Wales, and she makes the most of each and every one. From schooling us in pattern coordination to breathing a new lease of life into some of the institution's most treasured jewels, Princess Kate is a sartorial dab hand.
Her most recent outing posed no exception, and even after a jam-packed weekend of royal duties, she was at the very top of her style game.

© GettyUndoubtedly the art took centre stage, but what caught our eye above all else was Princess Kate's super elegant accessory. She carried an envelope flap quilted clutch by Chanel which felt sleek and subtle, the perfect accompaniment to some familiar fashion favourites.
She opted for a midi dress by her beloved Self-Portrait and a pair of sling-backs that she has worn on several previous occasions. The elegant piece, designed by the luxury London-based label, featured a fitted bouclé jacket torso. The thickly woven fabric provided a sense of structure, extending out into a finely pleated chiffon skirt.
The royal footwear favourite worn by Princess Kate was a pair of Italian luxury label Aquazzura's 'Bow Tie' pumps.
